Canterbury Museum in Christchurch has a strong association with New Zealand Archaeology. Past directors include archaeologists Julius von Haast, Roger Duff and Michael Trotter.

The museum is a traditional one showing natural history, fine arts and human history. It has a fine collection of Maori and Pacific Island artefacts. Its dioramas drawn from local archaeological sites are a particlar feature. Another strength is material from Antarctic exploration from the heroic age onwards, with which Cristchurch has a particular association.
